Moe goes back to see him after losing his passion for the job. He affectionately calls Moe "Old Glasswipe". He thinks Moe was born to bartend. He persuades Moe to give his bar a makeover. He tells Moe that he is dying from cancer. He then walks into the water of a pond to drown himself before cancer takes him.

He later returns as a ghost to tell Moe that he should feel terrible for deserting his friends, and convinces Moe to make amends with his former friends.
